New Funding Opportunities

Following are some new funding opportunities that the NC State Office of Research and Engagement. If you are interested in pursuing these opportunities, please contact your College Research Office.




Limited Submission Announcements

These programs are those that limit the number of applications that the university can submit. If you are interested in applying to one of these programs, please click the "Notification of Interest" link and fill out the form. Only those who fill out the form by the deadline will be eligible to participate in internal reviews. For more information about the limited submission process and the limited submission calendar, go here. 

NSF: IUSE / Professional Formation of Engineers: Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (IUSE/PFE: RED)
RED is designed to build upon previous efforts in engineering education research. Rhe RED program will support two tracks in FY19: RED Innovation and RED Adaptation and Implementation (RED-A&I). RED Innovation projects will develop new, revolutionary approaches and change strategies that enable the transformation of undergraduate engineering education. RED-A&I projects will adapt and implement evidence-based organizational change strategies and actions to the local context, which helps propagate this transformation of undergraduate engineering education.
Internal due date:  Notification of interest: 11/15/18
Limit: 2 per organization
Agency due date: Full Proposal Deadline: 1/24/19

NSF: Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR): Data Science Corps (DSC)
The Data Science Corps is one of the components of the HDR ecosystem, focusing on building capacity for harnessing the data revolution at the local, state, national, and international levels to help unleash the power of data in the service of science and society. As a first step in establishing the DSC this solicitation focuses specifically on enabling participation by undergraduate students in the DSC, by supporting student stipends for participation in data science projects and supporting integration of real-world data science projects into classroom instruction.
Internal due date:  Notification of interest: 11/20/18
Limit: 1 per organization
Agency due date: Full proposal deadline: 2/4/19

NIH: Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) (T32)
The goal of the IMSD program is to develop a diverse pool of scientists earning a Ph.D., who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce.  This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-based approaches to biomedical training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the research enterprise.
Internal due date: Notification of interest: 11/29/18
Limit: 1 per organization
Agency due date: Full application: 2/22/18

Other upcoming limited submission deadlines:
Keck Research Grants - Concept Paper: 12/6/18


Non-Limited Funding Opportunities

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: Grand Challenges Explorations (GCE) open grant opportunities: 

DMREF is the primary program by which NSF participates in the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) for Global Competitiveness. DMREF will support activities that significantly accelerate materials discovery and/or development by building the fundamental knowledge base needed to design and make materials and/or devices with specific and desired functions or properties. This will be accomplished through forming interdisciplinary teams of researchers working synergistically in a "closed loop" fashion, building a vibrant research community, leveraging data science, providing ready access to materials data, and educating the future MGI workforce.
Agency due date: Full proposal: 2/4/19
